Dutch student Elisa van Barneveld launched a crowdfunding camping last year to raise the money to enroll in Polimoda's master's program in fashion retail and management, promoted by Gucci.

Florence-based fashion school Polimoda and Gucci are offering a scholarship to Dutch student Elisa van Barneveld, who in October launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money to enroll in Polimoda’s master in fashion retail and management developed in collaboration with the luxury fashion house.

Generating some buzz around her crowdfunding initiative through social media and digital communication, van Barneveld, who was turned down for a loan by her bank, succeeded in collecting 10,000 euros in three months, a sum equivalent to almost half of the tuition fee.

When Polimoda and Gucci learned about the student and her desire to attend the program, they interviewed her and decided to help her raise the total amount required to enroll.

Ganni turned over a new leaf for spring 2019, reports @fionawsma from Copenhagen Fashion Week. Instead of sending its signature floral-print dresses down the runway, the brand collaborated with 66 North, a technical outerwear brand, and produced a chic-yet-utilitarian offering that included a tie-dye vest and short set, and leopard-print pieces sprinkled among the khaki parkas and bucket hats. #wwdfashion #ganni #copenhagenfashionweek

“I’ve been an actress since I was like 10 or 12, and then I went to drama school. I have a technique, and I have a process that I bring to every role. And I can talk about it, but that kind of makes it less magic, and also when I talk about it, it makes me feel like I’m full of myself,” ‘Crazy Rich Asians Star’ Constance Wu tells @leighen .(📸: @emmanmontalvan: styled by @micaelaerlanger ) #wwdeye #crazyrichasians #constancewu
